New Jersey Auto Collisions
A common type of traffic accident in New Jersey involves hitting a fixed object, more specifically, hedges or trees. This is also the cause of most deaths related to car accidents. The second most common type is hitting utility poles, followed by guard rail/parked vehicle collisions. Nationally, approximately 90% of all auto accidents involve some type of driver error/negligence as a contributing factor.
Driver errors may include inexperience, distraction, fatigue, or intoxication. Speeding and distracted drivers were common contributors to wrecks throughout the state of New York in 2019, with speeding being the highest contributor to fatalities.
Common injuries that usually result from car accidents may include bone breaks, dislocations, paralysis, whiplash, neck/spinal injuries, brain injuries, and disfigurement.
